Where oh where can you be topre Squadron? It's been over a year since we last saw you. Give us a sign!

too bad about the hhkb layout..I'll probably still pick up a pbt spabebar though. Is this a gh gb or a md one?

raymogi · « **Reply #456 on:** Sat, 21 November 2015, 20:09:05 »

Picking this one up for sure. Thanks for the hard work matt3o

next time they'll agree on a wider compatibility.

Are you just talking generally or is there a plan for more designs?

Chedda7 · « **Reply #458 on:** Sun, 22 November 2015, 01:11:27 »

Fingers crossed they bundle it with a $200 titanium camping stove!

The group buy should start in few hours. Unfortunately despite all my efforts Topre didn't want to add HHKB compatibility (initially they seemed okay with that but changed their minds a couple of times along the road).

This is only the first step in our collaboration anyway, if they see interest it is very likely that the next time they'll agree on a wider compatibility.

Any comments on FC660C compatibility?

Matt3o · « **Reply #460 on:** Sun, 22 November 2015, 02:12:51 »

The GB will be on MassDrop. It's realforce only, both ISO and ANSI, with PBT spacebars and some extra keys.

yes, there will be more, but this one has to sell well.

ISO and ANSI combo works for my HHKB layout (sort of), looking like it might be time to waste some dollars.

That's a shame but thanks for trying. Unless the price is really good I'll probably be passing then. And I feel like that's a double edged sword, there's by default going to be less interest because the HHKB/FC660C users are excluded.

tofgerl · « **Reply #468 on:** Sun, 22 November 2015, 15:07:23 »

To be honest the colorway wouldn't make sense on any 60%, be it FC660C or HHKB. It kind of needs the F-row to stand out. It gets boring else.

I agree, in fact the HHKB and leopold versions were slightly different, hopefully next time.

No HHKB or Leopold support is a real head scratcher. It is such an incremental effort to include those and it dramatically increases the pool of buyers.

Like that matters hahaha. This is Topre we are dealing with here

But really, totally agree. That would be a real buzzkill, and sales killer I think if they don't include support for those.

e_l_tang · « **Reply #474 on:** Sun, 22 November 2015, 22:56:06 »

Hey Matt3o, will they have convex Alt keys and number pad 0 keys?

Actually, that makes me feel kinda special. *blush*

I went with blue, since it fits the UN Spacy colors. Purple is more of a Zentradi color.

since the set already has some blue in the extras, I would pick green gamer-kit.

I realize the description said everything in the render is included, but for some reason thought the Extras were separate.

That makes it easier!

Is the swappable Ctrl/Caps missing from the mockup, or are they legitimately not being included?

Belfong · « **Reply #499 on:** Tue, 24 November 2015, 09:19:37 »

I don’t really like the price but if I don’t support this initiative, we’ll not see the light of any future projects by Topre. We have to make this successful!
